I am having a difficulty installing the first web cam for my computer. My brother's wife gave it to me this week. I have tried installing them but I always fail. Can anyone help me? How will I change the settings in my computer for the web cam's on and off? I am not familiar with it. What should I do? This comes with a cd rom installer. As I installed it last time, it says that there are some errors on installing the cam. I am sure, this is a brand new web camera. What could be the possible reason for this? What else should I check? I am too excited for using it but I can't install them with my computer. I need your advise my dear MyLot members. Please share some tips with me. Thank you so much in advance!

Has it enter your mind that the webcam is broken, that's why she gave it to you. lol Is it a USB webcam? Try different usb socket from your pc. What is your operating system by the way?

No, the cam is not broken my dear. In fact it is a brand new one. Yes, it is USB webcam. My operating system is Windows XP. Hope you could help me.

If the cd rom is not working on the install, go to the website of the company and look to install a driver there. Occasionally there are updated drivers, or something more compatable with your version of windows. Once it is installed correctly and you plug it in, you will be able to access all functions for your web cam. good luck to you...hope that helps

You could have given the brand name & model number of the webcam and its software version so that someone having experience with it can easily help you ...

You're right, I forgot to tell the brand name and it's model number. Here is the name of the web cam that appears on the box: PC Web Camera, model PC006-0003.
